urbanity: Record at the city bike in the Dahme-Spreewald

In the district of Dahme-Spreewald, the citizens show overwhelming participation in this year's city road campaign how important sustainable mobility is for the community. A total of 2,495 cyclists have covered a proud 430,510 kilometers in three weeks, which led to a saving of 71 tons of CO₂. These impressive numbers are not only a reason for joy, but also reflect a significant trend in mobility.

a strong community engagement

The campaign was supported by various municipalities in the district, including Eichwalde, Heidesee, Königs Wusterhausen and many others. If you consider that the district will take part in the nationwide initiative for the eighth time, it becomes clear how the commitment to cycling has developed over the years. According to Heike Zettwitz, the district's environmental director, the importance of bicycle in society has increased significantly.

participant records and CO₂ savings

The increasing number of participants is particularly noteworthy compared to previous years: in 2023 there were 2,495 registered cyclists, in the previous year there were 1,747. The kilometers per participant collected have also increased, which indicates that more and more people are considering the bike as a serious alternative to the car.

• 2023: 2,495 participants
• kilometer: 430,510 km
• CO₂ savings: 71 tons

A look at the demographic diversity

The diversity of the participants is also interesting: the oldest cyclist, born in 1931, has already cycled 310 kilometers, while the youngest participants are only three and four years old. This spectrum shows that cycling is not only environmentally conscious, but also connects generations and becomes part of our way of life.

shape a sustainable future

The record numbers of the Dahme-Spreewald district are not only a success of the event, but also a strong signal for alternative mobility in Germany. With 2,882 municipalities that are involved this year, the relevance of cycling is further in focus. This initiative shows how important it is to promote awareness of sustainable transportation in everyday life. The success of the city bike could therefore be pioneering for the future of urban mobility.
